We are buying a property in Scotland. The date of report for the HomeBuyers report is 25th Feb. Nationwide are saying that the report needs a refresh and that I need to go via the vendors solicitor and ask them to get a refresh done at the vendors expense....
I really don't follow why this needs to be done at anyone's expense other than Nationwide. It clearly states on their website for the Mortgage that they will pay the fee for a valuation report - with no mention of an exception for Scotland. But when I speak to them on the phone they have said they need this refresh to produce the valuation.
Anyone come across this before ? It strikes me as more than a little weird.
